"Doc?" Sam asked slowing down a little. "Was it what you expected?"
Teilani turned and faced Sam. "What you mean?"
"Well, going back home to Mars, meeting your family.. "
"Mars isn't my home anymore," Teilani said softly. "I have been away for too long. As for my family, I wish ... I wish they would have come with us, time was too short. Seems I have missed out on so much." She said while thinking of the little girl which was her niece.
"You know I knew the situation was bad, but I never expected it to be this bad. They have nothing, being on the run constantly. I asked Hunter if I could stay.. I can make more of a difference there then I can here." Teilani said.
"In what way?"
"I'm a doctor, the resistance needs me.. they need medical supplies, food.. They are outnumbered 2 to 1 in my view. Frankly I have no idea what kind of difference we can make. If we have done our business here, the Zion will leave." Teilani said a little bitter.
"I'm sure Hunter has come up with a plan, we did cause some disruptions in the Fed's plans."
"True, but as you know there are more parties involved and frankly I have no idea who is running the show there. The feds, the so called mafia family. The only thing I know is that the real people, those who can make a difference need our help in any way possible.
Sam nodded. "I see what you mean..maybe.. maybe things will change. Maybe Mars will be liberated someday.
Teilani shrugged. "Not in our lifetime.. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens, but I can seriously tell you next time we are back at QT I will ask for a transfer. I just can't leave them alone, not just right now that I found them again. We have so many things to talk about.. to catch up on."
"Perhaps." Sam replied and both women halted near the turbolift. As it arrived they both got on, and gave their designations.
"Well this is my deck." Sam said as lift stopped and the doors slid open. "See you at the debriefing."
"Sure thing.. don't forget to get to sickbay.. have one of my staff check you out for any bugs." Teilani called after her, then the doors closed again and gently the turbolift moved on.
